Wrong. Ska was unquestionably at its most popular in the 80s, with bands like Madness, The Specials, and other artists on the Two Tone label.

Originally posted by tribu "Avantgarde" means Advanced Guard (or something close) and represents musicians who are making the music of tomorrow. Kraftwerk is a great example of musicians who were avantgarde, though their music may not have been considered to be so. This term is not limited to music but is generally applicable in all forms of art.

If I remember my French, 'avant' means 'towards', which is kind of like, 'advancing'... uh, oh well.

Atari-addict is correct with "crossover" although in the last 15 years - it has been used frequently to describe classical music that has been heavily influenced by pop. Examples are Bond, Vanessa Mae, Charlotte Church, Sarah Brightmen, Andrea Brocelli, etc.
It's classical music for the mainstream!
